Thanks for the suggestion. My phone seems to work a little differently. When I plug it into the computer, it vibrates for a second, but the screen does not change. The only thing that I could think to do was to press NOTIFICATIONS. That showed a message that the USB was connected. When I selected it...

Thanks. I appreciate your efforts in getting this working.
